As you add people, you'll find that you will also need to deal with some vegans (which means some form of vegetable protein at every meal) and a less well-defined set of preferences ("Joe can't stand Indian food - he just doesn't like it.", "Patty doesn't like the texture of seitan.", "Fred only eats hamburgers, hot dogs (if they've been cut up), and plain pasta with butter on it.") which will end up defining a small set of meals that will please everyone, save for the adventurous ("Let's go to DeeDee's (in Santa Clara) and see what they're serving today!") eaters on your team.
My hat's off to you for making a go at it. I've done restaurant (catering) ordering (to make sure it gets done right) for a company of 70 people (40 local folks staying for dinner) and it's difficult to get a menu with enough variety that everyone feels included — people left out get cranky and make faces at you in the morning if you are both getting coffee at the same time. (They won't kick your dog, however.)
